Sergey Naryshkin claims US Al-Tanf military base used for training terrorists in Syria and Russia
\nMoscow
\nThe Russian Foreign Intelligence Service chief on Wednesday accused the US of training Daesh\/ISIS terrorists to carry out sabotage and terrorist attacks in Syria and Russia.
\nSergey Naryshkin claimed at the XI International Meeting of High Representatives in Charge of Security Issues in the Moscow region that the US Al-Tanf military base, located on the border of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, is used for training Daesh\/ISIS terrorists to carry out sabotage and terrorist attacks in Syria and Russia.
\nThe intelligence director pointed out that the US occupies Syrian territories, specifically those where it has built a military base and is waging an economic war in the form of sanctions against Damascus, which prevents the restoration of the country.
\nTo back up his claim, Naryshkin cited a wave of rapprochement between Iran and Arab countries, claiming that the level of mutual trust in the Middle East has recently increased; nonetheless, the US authorities are \u201csharply\u201d rejecting it.
\nNormalization of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, he claimed, \u201cprovoked a painful reaction\u201d in London and Washington.
\nAccording to the Russian intelligence chief, the US, and UK have been \u201cused to playing on inter-Islamic contradictions,\u201d in line with their positions, which is why their relevant bodies launched a smear campaign aimed at undermining the dialogue between Iran and Saudi Arabia and discrediting China\u2019s mediation role.
\n\u201cThe traces of this destructive work are already clearly visible in the global information space,\u201d he claimed.
\nHe also mentioned the opportunities that have arisen in the region as a result of the restoration of relations between Riyadh and Teheran, such as the settlement of the conflict in Yemen and the de-escalation of tensions in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
\nSimultaneously, he alleged that the US is developing plans for an information war against Russia with the goal to drive a wedge between Moscow and the Middle East.
\n\u201cAnglo-Saxons can be advised to deal with their internal civil conflicts, or even better \u2013 reach out to their old friend, to the devil,\u201d he said.
\nThe intelligence chief also claimed that the UK is \u201cintensively\u201d working with European partners to prevent any mediation between Russia and Ukraine \u201cas long as Kyiv is able to carry out strikes on Russia.\u201d
\nLast year, he recalled that during talks in Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye, Moscow and Kyiv came close to reaching an agreement to end the conflict.
\n\u201cThe draft agreement was approved by the parties, but these agreements were thwarted because Washington and London strictly forbade their Ukrainian vassals to conduct peace talks with the Russian side and ordered Kyiv to fight, as they say, to the last Ukrainian,\u201d he claimed.
\nThe official noted that the West could help ensure global prosperity and security, but \u201cinsane pride tightly closed such an opportunity for them.\u201d
\n\u201cIn their pride, Western totalitarian-liberal regimes led by the US have gone so far as to encroach on human nature itself. De facto, they want to destroy everything human in man, turn him from a free being into a fully controlled \u2018transhumance chimera,\u2019\u201d he alleged.
\nAccording to Naryshkin, the vast majority of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America do not share such a vision, and even when pressed, refuse to join sanctions against Russia, and the situation in Ukraine only \u201cstrengthens the general desire to increase independence.\u201d
\n\u201cI am convinced that by joining efforts, showing courage and wisdom, we will be able to solve the common task of ensuring security and prosperity both in certain regions of the world and on the whole planet,\u201d he said.
\nHe said of the West, \u201cTheir end will be according to their deeds. And this means that their end will be sad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
